LG Stylo SD storage with 6.0 upgrade

Ok. I am 63 years old got my MIS degree in 1985 when computers were the size of 3 stacked coffins, everything was saved nightly on big spools of tape and computer specialists had to do all the programming in special languages & the Microsoft revolution had not occurred, so be gentle. Finally got a smart phone the LG Stylo from Boost, that said it could store up to 32 GB on an SD card, so bought one AND updated to Android 6.0, then learned nothing but photos that take up little space could be stored with Marshmellow. I do not understand the discussion on this site I was directed to on YouTube to allow saving to the SD card using my PC (???) and today I got an upgrade on my phone I allowed LS770ZV8_06_LS770ZV9_03_update.z.... Does anyone know what that upgrade is and will it address finally being able to use my 32GB SD card to take on some of the 8.0 storage limits rapidly being approached by my phone?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
LG determined they didn't want to use the android Marshmallow exclusive feature, adoptable storage on any of their phones flagship to cheap phones. When the MM os is installed, with mandatory bloat, it is more than 4gb in your 8gb system. When you fill up you internal storage the os saves some space for system upgrades. So even when you move a few apps to the sd card, the os will stop allowing you to move apps before the 8gb is full, It happened to me at 6.5 gb full, and it will tell you the sd card is full when it is almost empty. This is where adoptable storage comes in. Because adoptable storage encrypts your sd card to not be read outside the phone, if you have an inferior sd card, apps might lag, or if your card craps out, you are S.O.L. because the card can only be read in the phone. You might lose too much data. So LG didn't want the hassle, and disabled adoptable storage. This thread is devoted to enabling adoptable and you can make use most of your sd card. The trade offs I've stated, but the limitations of not using adoptable are worse.

You just follow the 1st post, there is a small script program that will install the bare minimum Android sdk in a folder on you windows c:/ drive,and it will install the android phone drivers for your phone. You need to go to your phone to the settings general page to the about phone, then go to the software info lines, press that, then go to the software info line and that will open up and you press the build number line 7 times, and it will say you are now a developer. Then you page back to general settings,and you will have a new entry above" about phone" called "Developer Options" go in there and check usb debugging and if you want check stay awake in the section above( for the time being) and the phone won't time out on you. then you plug in the phone to you pc, and accept any permission it asks about the phone connecting to the pc. Then you go to the c:/ drive and hover the mouse cursor over the abd file folder and right click and choose "open command window here"

From there put in the commands from the post on the first page into the windows command prompt you opened earlier. That will get you where you need to be, it works and you can always watch the videos and ask questions here again, Good Luck! P.S. remember to go to the developers options page in general phone settings and uncheck the stay awake box, you can keep the usb debugging box checked it's not a big deal

works great on stylo 2 :)

need help

Everytime i run adb shell command wrks but if i do one of the sm commands it says sm not found im using windows 10 help
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] tube517:
I used this method on an LG G3 and LG G Stylo.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] richardk3:
I can now also confirm that this works on the LG Stylo 2. It's necessary to enable the developer setting, then enable USB Debugging before running the adb process.

http://blog.syncios.com/enable-deve...-mode-on-devices-with-android-4-2-jelly-bean/

After, you need to go to the Internal Storage menu and select "Format as Internal Storage". Then you'll be given the option to "Move Data to New Storage".

Thanks to those who figured out how to do this! It will be a huge improvement for our new phones.

Any chance it would work for a t-mobile device running 6.0.1?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmytwotimes.parker:
Yup
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] sck915:
I had the same frustrations; partly due I think to its not prompting to replace existing files, but it seems also something else. (and then subsequently not adding the folder [c:]\adb to the path)

I solved it - for the Galaxy s7 - by downloading Samsung's Kies3 which installed the necessary drivers correctly.

Even though you have an LG, I suspect the necessary Android drivers for Windows [10 at least] should work.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] hippiesky:
Quick question after I followed the instructions it only gives me options for internal storage and external is greyed out is that right?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] jmacie:
yes, adoptable storage in android 6.0+ is internal storage. You won't be able to read the sd card outside the phone because adoptable encrypts the card. If you want to split your card, to part internal and part portable storage, you can substitute the words "mixed 50" ,no quotes, for the word "private" in line 3 of the code. This will divide your card in 1/2. Note, your card will be erased each time you change this format, and if you reset the phone it clears out adoptable, be aware, potential data loss

This worked excellent for my BOOST LG Stylo II..... MM 6.0.1 right out of the box, purchased yesterday. Went back run again and got the 50/50 storage which is perfect. LGLS775ABB Z4 . Sure do which root & twrp were available. I did have the good fortune of capturing the kdz (which is not available for download from LG). It had a 454mb update waiting when first powering on and I run logcat when I got home, went to the url and it asked for username/password, but just admin with no password got it to download!

http://imgur.com/q2dvC13

Picture of update unzipped. I'm sure this will help kickstart any development. Least I know I can unbrick if it happens!

zach

Excellent work!!!! Thanks for sharing!

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Not sure which device your talking about. I sent a pm to 6th_Hokage. Purchased the BOOST Stylo II (LGLS775ABB Z4) with MM 6.0.1 yesterday from BestBuy for $119, to find out there is no root or recovery! Luckily for me I found this thread and have 128gb card setup as 50/50 now. Also, there was an update for 454.4mb which I quickly reset phone after getting home & run a logcat. Found the URL and got it download! I should be finished uploading to MEGA in an hour or so.

Anyone know where this device stands as it is with recovery (TWRP), or root??

Like I said, have the kdz downloaded, this should help greatly with dev since it is not available off LG's website.

Exactly which BOOST Stylo are you on? I just purchased mine yesterday. LG Stylo 2 .... build #: MMB29M, software ver.: LS775ZV4, Android security patch level 2016-05-01. I got the update that popped up right after turning on. Logcatted the URL and using just admin in the username/password box that popped up got the 454.4mb kdz with patch files (.tar).zip downloaded!

Is root available? If there are people still trying to dev this thing, I have it uploading to my MEGA right now.... no need to worry about bricking between this kdz and LG's flash tool.

Please let me know..........

Yeah, this was MY hopeful wishful thinking way way back when 6.0 MM 1st came out. You are not going to be able to root a boost/virgin/sprint variant of any LG phone above Lollipop. In android 6 there is dm-verity which cannot be bypassed without an unlocked bootloader. We've been on the case for 8 months, no way to unlock. We even petitioned LG and Sprint. The only LG's that can root on MM 6.0+ are t-mobile and metropcs. It's unfortunate for all of us, but that's how it is

Can this be done on the STYLO 2 from Cricket Service?

Hey Everyone,

First Post here and I am about to buy the STYLO 2 from Cricket(They have a damn good deal right now) I was wondering If this Method would work on that one as well? It Runs Marsh mellow so i dont see why not? Their stylo 2 is the K-540..

If it only works with Boost etc as said i may just have to pay the xtra so I will Have this Option.

I have only rooted one phone and that was a HTC that took 3d Pics, Cant remember the model name right off.

So After doing this to the phone will I be able to Format the SD card as Internal storage or just move all apps over to it , Or either or?

Thanks guys..
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeros&Ones:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I looked everywhere for a way to transfer my files from internal storage to SD for my Boost LG Stylo 2. I could only find scam one touch root apps that installed malware from Google App Store. This worked PERFECT. The instructions were spot on. The only thing I had to do which I did not see on the instructions was restart my phone. Thank you!!!!

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ukiltmybrutha:
Confused

I completed the above steps and received no real error messages. I checked the SD card and there is no option to format as internal, just format as portable which I am afraid to do.

I also had some sort of "move" option but just a small amount of data moved. This is on an LG Stylo.

Is this correct? Do things just kind of "work" so long as I don't remove the SD card?

Do I need to remove the SD card to format it as internal?

Help! Thanks!
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] gerent:
Reformating the SDcard worked for fixing the device '(null)' error.

Additionally, go to Device Manager and check under your android phone(s) and it should be something like "Android ADB Composite Interface", in my case it was "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface". If it doesn't say that, uninstall the driver and reinstall it by choosing "USB Composite Device".

Cricket Stylo 2 also

I can confirm that it works with the Cricket LG Stylo 2 also. I restarted after the data migration but I'm not sure I had to do that. Everything I install now automatically goes to my sd card. I'm going to try this on the LG Stylo that I'm giving to a friend to use on Tracfone. I read that LG disabled the feature of Marshmallow to format the sd card as internal storage. This kind of circumvented that. Shame on LG. It would be nice to know why they would do that. So nice to have the help for these things on xda. Thanks.

SD disappeared...sort of...

I followed your instructions and everything seemed to work perfectly. The problem is that my SD card only appears to exist in "Settings>Storage and USB" and in the App2sd plug-in for AIO Toolkit. I've tried the default file manager, AIO file manager, ES File explorer, and Disk Usage disk analyzer...all show only the internal storage. Apps which require an SD card, like Evernote and Dropbox don't see an SD card either. How do I fix this? Or roll it back? Thanks in advance!

That's how the adoptable storage works. The only solution I see is to divide the card into adoptable and regular. There are instructions somewhere in the middle of this thread. My 64GB card now appears as 32GB of available SD card storage... The other half is available for moving apps. I'm curious if it's possible to change the percentage to something smaller... I certainly don't need 32GB for the few apps that can be moved and it would be nice to have more storage space.

Adoptable Storage partition problem

I recently bought a 64GB SD card. Soon discovered adoptable storage is disabled on Stylo2, so I can't change app storage from Internal storage to SD card. I followed your instructions and entered the code as you showed. It worked. But now, my "Storage & USB" Settings shows both Internal Storage and SD card, but File Manager only shows Internal Storage. And instead of having 16GB internal and 64GB external, File Manger is only showing 10GB TOTAL!!! It seems like it was partitioned incorrectly. Is there any way I can fix this?

Edit: (I was looking back over your code and mine, and I've been exhausted, so I missed a line of code:

sm set-force-adoptable false

I went back and entered that code, and still I have the same problem.)

I was trying to include a pic of some screenshots of the problem and of the code I used though, but the forum won't allow me to include pics or links cuz I'm new here. I really hope you can help though! If you can e-mail me a reply, I'll probably see that before I see a message on here. Thanks.

Hello all,

I just had an interesting conversation with a rep @ O2 UK.

I just got a bit keen and started calling SP's (3 T-mob and O2) about Data services that they offer.

I currently have a HTC advantage (ameo) on T-mobile web and walk which costs me £32.50 a month for a piddly amount of texts and mins and Data capped at 1GB "fair usage" they say, no skype, no streaming, no USB.

(not that I give a **** I listen to radio ABF many days a week through 3g :)

This isnt their premiere uncapped data service, that costs double or triple what I pay.

Well I called 3 and I got an annoying sales rep on the phone, he told me that I can't buy a sim on its own from 3!

Then I said ok Ill get a free phone from you just give me flat data and he reeled off reasons why it wouldnt work and if it did I would be tied to only visiting certain sites.....

The networked which names its self "3" as in 3rd gen communications wont give me 3rd gen communications.

Ok I thought, I call everyone else.

O2 just happened to be first on my list.

I told the sales guy my deal on T-mobile and I said I wanted to get an Uncapped data plan for as cheap as possible.

Well he told me that on the 28 September 2007 a new UNLIMITED data plan will be available for all contracts for!!!!! £7.50 :)

Thats what we pay for 1 GB on T-mob.

If you add this to the £15 a month SIM ONLY contract they have which gives 200 UK mins and 400 text's thats £22.50 a month for calls texts and UNLIMITED DATA>

Looks like I will be paying them my hard earned money instead of T-mobile.

Sorry if this has been reported before (and I missed it)

Have a good day all :)

iPhone Users Get Their Butts Kissed

Well so far it sesm that O2 will be kissing the butt of iPhone customers.

According to the O2 site, their will indeed be unlimited data for the iPhone on all tariff options of the iPhone, however strangely the price of the actual handset doesn't scale down as you increase the tariff.

There is currently no mention of the unlimited data plan being available to customers on other packages with other model handsets, although having read something on the 3G forum, a user their posted a link to this topic on another site:

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=154284

Whilst it is not unlimited as with the iPhone its certainly a step in the right direction if the information is correct. A read from another site that O2 will again ammend their data tariffs in Q1/Q2 of 2008 to make them match those of T-Mobile which would be excellent, although I'm sure existing customers won't be privy to the new rates until renewal time.

O2 will have brought these new rates in just in time to save my custom if the information is correct, althogh I have sent an email to O2 this evening moaning, saying along the lines of I think that O2 are too interested in making money than providing customers with good handsets, because the HTC Kaiser eats the iPhone for breakfast, however because of all the hype about the iPhone it will obviously sell better than a Kaiser would do, even though the features suck by comparison, and that I also think that it is very customer discrimination esk by providing iPhone customers with unlimited whilst everyone else suffers.

Let's she thier reply!!
[General Topics] Pete.:
You did better than me all I got out of them was that there was an unlimited plan due out on the 1st but no details available.
[General Topics] carphead:
You can actually do better than this with T-Mobile. They have a £7.50 a month sim only plus £7.50 a month Web N Walk addon. So £15 a month.

But it is good news because I'm on the O2 Simplicity £15 a month contract so come 1/10 I'll be calling O2 to get the data added.

Thanks for the Yarod.

Lucky Europeans!

God, Europe gets all the good cell phone stuff. They get tons of phones sold to them unlocked, they get decent prepaid options, going with a SIM-only contract isn't uncommon, CDMA is non-existent, and unlimited data w/ 400 texts for £32.50 (Roughly $64.80, according to Google).

True, while Sprint's SERO plan is offering unlimited data and texts for $30/mo (roughly £15), it's CDMA, and Sprint has the worst customer service record I've ever heard of. The closest deal is T-Mobile's $20 data plan, with either a $30 calling plan (300 minutes) or 300 minutes and MyFaves ($40), which brings you to around $70 after taxes and fees ($80 if you want 1,000 text messages).

I almost wish I could buy an O2 SIM and use it here (without crippling fees and charges, that is).
